A 1973 Los Angeles Times advertises this as a male cinema. This may win hands down for the most bizzare-named theatre.

Yes, bizarre…no matter how you folks spell it. Another bizarre one is the Climax Theatre in Milwaukee.
Haha. I was scrolling through the “newest theater” section because I hadn’t had time to for a while…and how did I know what to expect when I clicked on this one….
I guess they showed short films…
Come and went so quick, even I missed this one! lol I was in West Hollywood when this was posted as a ‘newest theatre’ and didn’t have internet access, wish I had, as I could have checked out the current status.
Seriously though, doing a web search on this address comes up with a Thai restaurant called The Flowering Tree…selected extract from a web review of the restaurant:
‘…The Flowering Tree will delight your senses….Put on your comfiest brown corduroys and tattered sweater and enjoy a scrumptious earthy…..’
Well!
I hear that this theater had meters on the seats – 25 cents for each ten minutes…
Ken mc are you serious or are you kidding? I guess it really is a “Quickie Theater” if you only got 10 minutes!
September 1974 advertised all male films 10 am to 5 am. Gives them a couple of hours to sweep and mop, maybe make some fresh popcorn.
We kid you not:

The exterior of the theatre was featured in the film LOVE ME DEADLY (1974)
